Hello Everyone,
This is my first post on the forum. However, I have read extensively through the history and am very appreciative of the vast amount information stored here.
At the end of this year, my brother, son and myself will be sailing the Everglades Waterway from Flamingo to Chokoloskee by Sunfish sailboat. They adventure will be about a 100 mile camping trip that takes the average Kayaker about two weeks to complete. I suspect we will be able to do it in about ten days, but we will allow for two weeks just in case we run into trouble.
We have been fishing, camping and enjoying the waterway for over twenty years, we know the landscape, bugs, alligators etc.
We have acquired three boats ranging in manufacture date from 1975 (the best one of the lot) to 1992. Each will be modified to attach a paddle board paddle for days with no wind or for going through the numerous small creeks. We will also put a six inch inspection plate in the bow of each boat for storage and each boat will be set up with a fishing rod holder and a GPS mount.
If the forum is interested in the adventure, I will continue to post the preparation and I intend to document the trip.
